There will be dinners and banquets all over town throughout the week and a half-marathon and 5K run at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Runners will have a chance to win a 2014 Shelby GTS Mustang convertible. They will also get a day pass to birthday celebrations.

“Mustang has evolved to represent far more than just a car — it’s the symbol of a high-octane lifestyle,” said Ronald D. Bramlett, executive director of the event. “The car was designed from birth to be a canvas that people could personalize for their own taste, so we did the same with this incredible celebration.

“Since our members enjoy the roar of the track, as well as participate in a broad range of other activities, we expanded the menu of choices. It will be a memorable experience for the entire family.”
